The Republicans Navy.@

In a letter to Congressman Lawier
Admiral Porter made use of the ex-
pressions: =. Every harbor on our coast
is at the mercy of hostile guns ''Our
blackboard cities are entirely open. :"
There is not nation on earth that
could not wage war upon our coasts
with perfect impunity." I'VE have
but single frigate which could be
made ready to fire gun in months. "
The old navy is gone or is going so fast
that it is no longer available for war
purposes. The new navy is yet on the
stocks or on paper.
For the purpose of emphasizing the
recklessness and corruption of the era
which brought the great navy of the
war period TO this condition the
amount of money expended on the es-
adjustment from 1869 TO 1877 is here
with appended:
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1887-02-03

Here was an aggregate approprIa-
ton in eight years of more than S110.-
600. G00. During that period the Brit
ish Government expended about twice
as much money on its navy, and it had
i'll 1877. as it has now, the most forni-
dable fleet IN the world. The question
naturally arises: II by spending one
half as much money as England the
United State can not at present show
Il single ship of war capable OF meeting
and resisting hostile feet, how many
more millions would they have been
compelled TO spend fl order to have had
one such vessel?
The grotesque insineerity of the
organs of the dispensation which re-
duced the American navy 80 this de-
pierable condition in pretending that
Robesonism and Roachism are things
to be honored and applauded viii not
long survive inspection of the figures
and a glance at the results. Admiral
Porter's review of the situation places
matters in as bad light as has yet
been thrown upon them. and the
emphasis with which he dwells upon
them can not be ascribed to partylsm.
It is the duty of Congress to look the
facts squarely in the face. to repair the
waste and to lose no time in fllrthering
the plans of the department for an en-
tire reconstruction of the feet.-Clticd-

1t is matter Of history that Queen Eliza
beth, or Good Queen Bess,n as English
writers often term her, was the first English
Queen who wore gloves. These articles, pre-
yious to her reign, were unknown in lady's
toilet although the form of glove called
gauntlet had been adopted by men. The
gloves worn by Queen Elizabeth were unlike

ingly elegant and costly affairs Some We're
of kid, reaching nearly or quite to the elbow
and trimmed with gold braid and fringe.
Others were lined with velvet and fastened
with gold buttons and jeweled buckles.
Others again were of silk, gayly embroidered

So few specimens of the pen tail have
been captured that there is but little known
about his habits, except that he is more
cleanly than onr rats and keeps away from
human beings. He is not so pretty or so
cheerful as our squirrel, nor so fleet of foot
as our graceful little chipinunk.
biologists think that the long tail possessed
by this little animal is used for the purpose of
balancing himself when moving among the
branches of the trees He comes into the
houses Of the natives occasionally, hut is not
very often seen. A specimen was caught
alive by Professor Low, of England, and
sent home to the ''Zoo," as it is called, or the
garden of animals, but the little creature
died on the way and is now preserved IN the
Museum of Natural History in London. This
picture is from photograph of that one,
taken fer Child Culture, which journal ex-
plains that the singular appearance presented
by the pen tail cannot be fairly shown in a
black and white picture. because of the color.
The long hairs of the tail are white, and the
scaly part is jet black, the throat and belly
are yellowish, the back mouse color and as
sleek as a mole skin.
When this picture was exhibited here to
some persons who are quite familiar with
animals it was at once pronounced a fancy
sketch of an improbable animal, but il is a
true likeness of poor little "Dart," who started
on a Journey to see the queen, and was moi
strong enough to endure the voyage and air
SO different from that of his native home.

One of the most singular of the rodents is
this little pen tail from the island of Borneo.
He is only about twelve inches long, with
tail nearly three times that length, The tail
is covered with coarse scales from the body
nearly to the end, when the brush of coarse
hair begins The color is grayish brown. He
is a sleepy little fellow, apparently about as

There is no surer way to waste
corn than TO feed it in the ear, hard
and indigestible. to hogs late in the
fall that have been used to other and
softer feed. The hogs will eat It well,
as their gums ore tender and tbs hard
kernels make their mouth sors.
What they do eat gives them little
good, as may be seen by examining
their excrement. Kill such an ami.
NAL after one or two weeks feeding
with corn in the ear, and its intes-
tines will be found worn thin by the
rough food it has eaten. We doubt
whether there is profit in feeding
unshelled hard corn to hogs at any
age. 1t is, perhaps, the most con-
venient way for the lazy. shiftless
farmersj but, like most of his exped-
tents to avoid trouble, there is no
profit in it.
